cooperation and good DX, Andy (Engineer - Shortwave Radio, Winsen at

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2248 monitoring: one must keep
checking the WRMI skedgrids in case a WOR time be deleted, or added: I
do find a new one for Saturdays 0930 UT on 9455. This is at 285
degrees = WNW for western N America, not too far off our azimuth from
Okee about 315. Since I strive to remain sound asleep at that hour,
ASAP almost 6 hours ahead, I asked the WOR group for someone to
confirm that, if they are already awake at 0930: not a single reply.

285 carries on across the Pacific, aimed right at Honolulu, by
coincidence? and then Majuro, Port Moresby, Kununurra, so I wonder if
there be sufficient reception in Australia or SE Asia. Local times:
Honolulu 2330, Majuro 2130, Port Moresby 1930, Kununurra 1730.

Confirmed UT Saturday June 22 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, VG direct; S9/+10
into NH SDR; S9+20/40 into Missouri SDR. Had been signing off at 0400*
other nights but still extended for WOR. Previous program wasn`t
finished but faded down by 0359 for ID and WOR. As usual, a bit of
music followed at 0429 until chopoff circa 0430* with no formal ID or
s/off.

Confirmed Saturday June 22 at 1440 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.001, S7/S9 into UTwente in broad summersun.

** U S A. Saturday June 22, I`m not up and checking DXMAP until 1530
UT when I see a huge mess of sporadic E FM DX lines across
central/eastern USA with MUF above 100 MHz. So I hasten to check on
the DX-398 inside:

94.5 at 1534, ad mentioning the beach, ``Q-94`` non ID; RDS shows
SABRINA_, later FEATHER_, i.e. music refs, not ID. So it is:
WRVQ 94.5 RICHMOND VA 200.0 kW 109.0 m 37-24-15 77-18-55 HD Title &
Artist on Q94 CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO Q-94

If it were merely Q94 the only hit on 94.5 would be Harlingen TX by
searching the Slogan field. So is there a hyphen in the VA one or not?
Stations should be required to utter ``dash`` or ``hyphen`` if that`s
the case. And look at that power, twice the normal 100 kW limit. How
did they pull that off? Richmond is inland, not on a beach.

94.9 at 1535, ad for Lowe? Fibre Internet, City of Roanoke VA PSA:
WSLC-FM 94.9 ROANOKE VA 95.5 kW 598.0 m 37-11-50 80-09-11 949 STAR -
Now Playing Title/Artist COUNTRY STAR COUNTRY 94.9

95.3 at 1537, ads for Colonial Williamsburg, Kia; Virginia Repertory
Theater, Amelia County Fair; ``New Country K-95``:
WKHK 95.3 COLONIAL HEIGHTS VA 47.0 kW 156.0 m 37-26-22 77-26-01 K95!
Title & Artist on New Country K95! COUNTRY K-95

If it were merely K95, the only hit on 95.3 would be Willmar MN by
searching the Slogan field. So is there a hyphen in the VA one or not?
Stations should be required to utter ``dash`` or ``hyphen`` if that`s
the case. Amelia County is west of C.Hts., SW of Richmond.

Then I move to the caradio, but the opening is almost finished:

88.3 at 1550, Liberty University mentioned, and several times, ``The
Journey``, commercial mentioning central Virginia; isn`t this the NCE
sub-band?:
WRVL 88.3 LYNCHBURG VA 28.0 kW 346.0 m 37-11-50 79-21-06 RELIGIOUS
TEACHING THE JOURNEY Liberty University

104.5 at 1605, WTER mentioned, and another station, probably referring
to gospelhuxter net members rather than this frequency, which may only
be normal fringer KZZW Mooreland OK. But WTER is not a valid FM or AM
call anywhere.

Nothing more to 1630 when I have just missed confirming WOR on WRN. At
1635 DXMAP shows the Es nexus has been over SE Missouri (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, WOR)
